6TB SAS vs 6TB SATA → (coming soon)
HGST Ultrastar and Seagate Enterprise Capacity drives in this range have the best published AFR rates. Backblaze data consistently shows HGST leading on reliability.
If your HBA supports 12G, prefer SAS-12G drives for future flexibility. The price premium over SAS-6G is usually small at these capacities.
8TB and above often use helium-sealed platters (lower friction, cooler, quieter). Helium drives are not refillable - a seal failure means replacement, but failure rates are very low.
Almost all drives at this capacity are 3.5" LFF. Ensure your server chassis has LFF bays, or use a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter if needed.
4 in-stock listings out of 4 tracked; the cheapest is the MDD 6TB SAS 12G 7200RPM at $149.99 ($25.00/TB). The table on this page is the live ranking.
Both are in stock: 2 new and 2 recertified or used. The cheapest new is the HGST HUS726060AL5210 6TB SAS 12G at $249.00, the cheapest recertified or used the MDD 6TB SAS 12G 7200RPM at $149.99 - a 40% shelf gap between two different models, not a like-for-like discount. New carries the manufacturer's warranty; recertified a reseller's.
None of the 4 tracked listings (including the MDD 6TB SAS 12G 7200RPM) has a manufacturer-sourced recording value yet, so this page states none - an unsourced drive is never assumed CMR.
MDD, HGST, HP - that is what has live or recently-live listings, not the manufacturers' full line-ups.
Monthly average of every listing tracked that month, new and used together. A level, not a price change: it moves when the mix of listings changes.
